Yeah, not like those selfless check-in staff or ramp handlers with their wildcat strikes. They were really interested in the other parts of BA. Perhaps you would like to get a real life?

The Controller
 

Lets hope nobody puts you in the flying seat, as I think we would nosedive very quickly with an attitude like yours. Do you really think comments like that help?:*

Update
 

Anyvody know what the outcome was of todays talks?:bored:

Dont waste my time
 

Crew are only interested in themselves and have NO thoughts for the rest of BA staff. We believe or not have family and friends who depend on BA to live so DONT for whatever shortsighted reasons spoil it for the real BA staff who have a true feeling to keep BA going. Not the """""""" crew

The Controller
 

I didnt think you had the intelligence to work for BA yourself, so please reserve judgement of BA employees!:=

Sigmond

Please wise up ?

Talking over.
 

BASSA have posted on website that talks are over. We will know what/when action will be taken on Sunday 21st.

BASSA/Cabin crew 89 will be the DEATH of BA and a great many of GOOD/True staff will suffer for crap cabin crew

Who let the bin controller out again?
 

can you go to sleep please mate...

Well the game is on. Apparently not only have BA rejected all 12 of BASSAs points, they have told them they now want more from the crew. The official announcement is scheduled for Sunday.

anymore info?
 

carnage do you have any more info? any specifics on the bassa response to the company's rejection?

The above info comes from BASSA sources. They are meeting on Sunday to announce the plan, and I would presume announce the first strike. They wanted a chance to give the company a bloody nose, they might be about to find they have woken the sleeping giant.

Ok crack open a beer and watch the sport begin.

Long time coming for these overpaid prima-donnas but WW is going to get you now.

Onwards and upwards. After BASSA's bullsh1t and attacks on our hard working, intelligent and honest reps I can't wait.

Now we will see what your stupid half-illiterate BASSA leaders are made of.

Bring it on.

BA Set-up?
 

I don't know what was said in the previous meetings - in fact, I don't know what was said in today's meeting. But what I've heard makes me think that the management didn't exactly go into today's meeting with the intention of reaching agreement. I understand that the decision to activate the disruption centre, which mans the 'hotline' for disgruntled pax, was taken even before today's meeting had kicked off. From what's been said here, sounds like BA went in with their approach being to tell BASSA to poke it!

Can you afford it?
 

Lets hope these BASSA members can afford to have days off for strike action, I know certainly that December and January are long months, and with all those pressie's the credit card bills will need to be paid! I know I couldnt afford to strike, I think after the third 3 day walk out BASSA will see their members going against them and blame them for a badly handled dispute....

Looks to me like the company have got the unions fighting with each other just as they (the company) wanted, well done to the managers, one-nil.
.
By offering different deals to various sections of staff was odds on going to start this bun fight.
.
If the company had wanted any pension changes to go well and keep staff happy, they could have done the following.
.
1. Shut down NAPs.
2. Offer all staff a new pension deal based on Career Average Earnings.
.
This would have been Fair and all the unions could have worked together to get the best possible Career Average Earnings Pension for all staff, but as we can see, the bun fight will cause a lack of focus for both staff and unions, the result will be that the company will force these changes through at the cheapest cost and as a general rule, most staff will get a very very raw deal.
.
In the long run, when various sections on different deals, unions will not be able to work together to increase the various pension deals, the result will be further reductions to each and every deal year on year saving the company loads of cash and making Pension Value look a Joke in the future.
.
The company have picked a bad time to try such changes, many many staff are very unhappy with the way things are going and have been for a while, I think the feeling is either fight now and get it fixed or it's gone forever, 96.1% want to get it fixed, am sure they will do a good job, good luck.:ok:

The company did not get the unions flighting eachother.

Mike Conroy and his band of stupid half wits did that with their blatant lies a week last Friday, then subsequent attacks on people they are not fit to lick the boots of.

So be it. Come on

SR,
.
If a reduction in T+Cs is being forced on the staff, only Fair that all staff should get the same deal, lets get NAPs shut and Career Average Earnings offered to all staff(including any new and newer staff on BAMPS), the word Fair was used a lot last year, appears Fair is a bit thin on the ground now.
.
I think many managers looking forward to this bun fight, after the buns are done, most staff will be very unhappy and that will ensure loads of managers are needed to try and coach staff back on-side, the coach will need much refueling.
.
Hats off to the CC.....:ok:

Lunatic alert.

Yep. He's bonkers. All he wants is a fair scheme, as long as we pay more than our fair share for it.
